Nobody else has answered this, so I'll try, though it's been a long
time since I escaped from Mordorsoft. I vaguely remember that DOS
(and therefore effectively also Windows 95) had a BREAK command:
BREAK ON => always check for ^C
BREAK OFF => only check during user I/O
The default was BREAK OFF, so I would always put "BREAK ON"
in my autoexec.bat. It might also work inside a DOS Window
without rebooting, or inside a batch job that then runs Clisp.
